Streaks and hard things

I read Chris Kennedy’s post this morning, ‘Still Running – A Long Read’. It might be long, but for anyone who uses streaks to make a commitment, it’s a great read.

This is my comment. Think each of the points will eventually be a post on their own, but for today, I’ll leave them as I wrote them:

Two thoughts come to mind.

1. Our streaks are part of our identity. They don’t define us, we are defined by the act of keeping them.

2. Do hard things. The effort is its own reward. I don’t know anyone with a hard-to-keep streak who isn’t also doing well in other aspects of their lives, and ‘crushing it’… A life with intentional hard things begets a life where challenges are met and overcome rather than seen as barriers and limitations. 

There might be a reason to stop in the future… but until then the streak will keep streaking.
